FacebookVirtual Earth and Google Maps, side-by-side
Unfortunatly They don’t let you zoom in all the way on MSN.. which i think is their only advantage, MSN Lets you zoom in more than Google does. MSN also labels I25 correctly and not just 87 as google does. I had never heard of that hiway as US87 until I saw google maps.

That’s Right theNHL unveiled a new logo The changes are very moderate but I like it. I did Like The orange but rationalizing the silver to resemble the stanley cup is good enough for me. Oh and they realeased the ’05-’06 schedule. I gotta figure out when the sabres come to town.

New Rules For NHL ’05 – ’06
July 22nd, 2005 by The Knighthawk | Comments Off | Filed in base, hockey# Goalies will be limited in the size of equipment they can wear. Pads, gloves and blockers cannot exceed a specified length or width.
# The elimination of the two-line pass, like international hockey.
# A new overtime format featuring a shootout if the game is still tied after four-on-four hockey for five minutes and three-on-three hockey for another three.
# Goal lines will be moved back two feet and blue-lines will be two feet wider, creating a bigger offensive zone.
# Touch icing, which has caused many injuries to NHL defencemen over the years, is eliminated. Players only have to cross the icing line with his skate or stick to win the race for the puck.
# The old tag-up offside rule is back. Players can leave the offensive zone to nullify a delayed offside call. Before, the play was instantly called dead.
# Stricter fines for diving and criticizing officials. A delay-of-game penalty will be called on any player who shoots the puck into the stands from his defensive zone.
# A zero tolerance approach to obstruction and interference
Mexcellent!
July 22nd, 2005 by The Knighthawk | Comments Off | Filed in base, food, humorWell, we had our first annual(?) Casa Bonita outing last night. All I have to say is that place is totally insane. Yes Jack, it pretty much is the Mexican Disneyland. I was speecheless all night, even while I was chowing down on my plate of crappy mexican food. LOL by far the worst mexican food I’ve come across in Denver. But It is certainly not a place you visit for the food. It’s the High Divers, Mariachis, Puppet Shows, Dancing Gorillias, Haunted Caves etc that you are really there for. If you ever come to Denver you have to go to Casa Bonita. I just need to catch that episode of South Park now where Cartman spends the day there.
I took this from their site
“Casa Bonita opened early in 1974. It took approximately one year to create Casa Bonita.
The pink tower on the outside is 85 feet fall. The dome is covered with 22-karat gold leaf and has a statue of the last Aztec emperor – Quahuatomec.
The fountain outside of the front of the restaurant was shipped in pieces from Mexico.
The inside of Casa Bonita is designed to look like a Mexican Village at night complete with dining areas such as Plaza, Poolside, Caverns, Gold Mine and Silver Mine. Find Black Bart’s secret hideout full of mystery and intrigue.
With over 52,000 square feet and seating for 1,100 guests, Casa Bonita is the perfect place to hold a group event or birthday party . Complete your exciting dining experience with puppet shows, arcade games and a visit to El Mercado, Casa Bonita’s Giftshop.”
